C. Raghunath was an integral part of Kannur Congress for decades. Raghunath, who was known to be a close follower of K Sudhakaran, is contesting the parliamentary elections as a BJP candidate against the same K Sudhakaran now. Raghunath left the party citing the neglect he had to face for a long time from the Congress leadership.

Raghunath started his political life with KSU work in Brennan College in 1973 along with Sudhakaran. Raghunath's entry into the BJP was alleging that he had complained to K Sudhakaran about the deteriorating situation in the party but there was no solution.

Now Raghunath has disclosed about the brutality he had to face from the CPM several times years ago. He also says that he got his life back due to luck. The response was in an interview given to the YouTube channel Brave India.

Raghunath's words-

"The violent incident that changed my life happened in the month of June. At 12 o'clock in the night, some CPM goons entered my house and blew it up with bombs. I was lucky to survive that day. At 10 o'clock the power went out. With that, I told my children and wife to come and sleep with me. Otherwise, they would have bombed and killed my two children.

Kannur's bomb has more blast capacity. They are steel bombs. Metal parts are filled inside steel. The bomb is made by adding gunpowder, one or two kilos of nails with a sharp edge, and metal pieces found in workshops etc. In that incident, the police recovered 4 kg of nails from my bedroom as the remains of the bomb.

Around 11:45 pm, CPM goons entered my house and started bombarding it. Everything was destroyed. They could not enter the room where my family and I were sleeping as there was a metal crossbar attached to the door of the room. They kept trying to break down the door. Meanwhile, I locked my children in the bathroom. All I had in my mind was that my children should not face the mental situation of the children who had to watch Jayakrishnan master getting killed. After some time, the assailants left. Later the first defendant confessed to me. In his confession, he revealed that it was the president of the district panchayat who told him to kill me. Other defendants also became my disciples later. The 1st defendant is managing my social media today. ''
